Beverley Early Music Festival

The 2015 Beverley & East Riding Early Music Festival was a great success. Festivities opened in the Toll Gavel United Church with the Girasoli ensemble presenting Beethoven's Septet and concluded in Beverley Minster with a glorious mix of Tallis, Shepherd and Pἃrt delivered by The Tallis Scholars.

The Festival is administered through the National Centre for Early Music. NCEM Patrons were once again given a behind the scenes tour of one of Beverley's architectural gems - the Beverley Guildhall with its extraordinary Georgian courtroom.

We would like to thank all those who have supported the Festival in 2015 - particularly the East Riding of Yorkshire Council; Arts Council England; Schroder Financial Management; Mayfield Valley Arts Trust; F P Finn Charitable Trust; the Hull & East Riding Charitable Trust and the Beverley Decorative and Fine Arts Society.

Details of the 2016 Festival will be posted shortly. Highlights will include The Cardinall's Musick led by Andrew Carwood [director of music at St Paul's Cathedral, London] on Saturday 28 May in Beverley Minster.
